Server performance

**Ace** · 04-15-2008

One of the motivations behind the recent image gallery software update was to improve both the performance and the reliability of the gallery.

As a trial, on Friday evening Apr 11 (US time), we moved the MFG Forum from its own dedicated machine onto the same server that's used by the image gallery's database. The idea was that everything might run just as fast (or even faster for the forum), while reducing our monthly hosting costs.

What I'd like to know at this point is whether MFG, and the gallery in particular, has been feeling noticeably slower over the last few days or not. Please post a comment and let me know.

If you haven't been to the gallery lately, please check it out!

The Image Gallery seems to be going slow for me, but the forums don't feel any different.

**Punxx** · 04-16-2008

The forums feel the same, possibly even a bit faster. Haven't checked the gallery but I will shortly.

EDIT: The gallery for the most part seems fine. It's a bit shaky but I think it's been like that since you fixed it anyways. Way better than it was before you fixed it though.

Can you tell me more about what you mean by "a bit shaky"?

**Punxx** · 04-16-2008

Oh it's just a tad laggy. But that's probably just because of the size of the gallery. But I'm pretty sure it's about as good as it was before the forum migrated there. If there is a difference it's negligeable.

Speed seems to be fine. And again, the forum seems to be running evan faster than before.

Forums for me seem to be "much" faster now.
